Globalization, the North-American Free Trade Agreement and International Migration: Capital as a Barrier to Peripheral Workers
No full textO objetivo central do presente artigo é estudar os processos econômicos globais e as conexões existentes entre regionalização, reestruturação produtiva e mobilidade da força de trabalho. Para isto, dividimos o texto em três partes: na primeira, discutimos as ligações entre acumulação capitalista, ciclos econômicos e espacialização da força de trabalho; na segunda, passamos a uma análise do Tratado de Livre-Comércio da América do Norte (TLCAN) e a migração México-Estados Unidos; por fim, fazemos um balanço crítico de como os interesses do grande capital prevalecem aos interesses dos trabalhadores em relação a sua mobilidade espacial e seus direitos civis, políticos, sociais e econômicos.The central aim of this article is to study the economic and social processes and the existing connections among regionalism, productive restructuring, and labor force mobility across borders. The article is divided into three parts. In the first section, we discuss the linkage between capitalist accumulation, economic cycles, and labor force mobility. In the second, we analyze theNorth America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the migratory flux from Mexico to the United States. Finally, we outline a critical view of how the interests of big capital prevail over worker interests, considering aspects such as labor mobility and the civil, political, social and economic rights of workers
A “questão social” e o social-liberalismo brasileiro: contribuição à crítica da noção do desenvolvimento econômico com eqüidade
Get PDFThe article ́s object is Brazilian social-liberalism thesis on economic develop-ment including equity and its policy proposals regarding the “social question”. Our work hypothesis is that within the neoliberal era some thought approaches on Brazilian social liberalism enrolled in a new period that relates to Lukács concept of ideological decadence of the bourgeois though. Besides the presentation of the main thesis of Brazilian social liberalism, we intend to put in light the debate and some critics of those approaches using the Marxist theoretical framework. We also intend to underline the theoretical limits of Brazilian social-liberalism and the boundaries of its class perspective. O objeto de estudo do artigo é o social-liberalismo brasileiro, suas teses acerca do desenvolvimento econômico com eqüidade e suas propostas políticas de resolução da “questão social”. A nossa hipótese de trabalho é que, na era neoliberal, determinadas correntes do pensamento social brasileiro entram em uma nova fase do longo processo daquilo que Lukács chamou de decadência ideológica do pensamento burguês. Além da apresentação das principais teses do social-liberalismo brasileiro, pretendemos, a partir do referencial teórico marxista e da categoria ideologia, trazer para o debate algumas críticas àquelas teses, demonstrando os limites do seu horizonte teórico e da sua perspectiva de classe.Palavras-chave: Questão social.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
